A bit of Fashion history: Hot Pants 1970s

It was announced by Mary Quant, fashion designer in Britain. Later, hot pants appeared in fashion society with a Paris collection in spring and summer in 1971. It was named by Woman Wear Daily, a fashion journal.Hot pants were a transnational phenomenon. They were first shown at
fashion shows in Paris and Rome, then celebrated in the U.S. as a more
revealing alternative to the new mid-calf-length “midi” skirt that had
briefly come into fashion after the mini.

Hot Panst are so called Sexual Revolution: “Hot pants shifted certain norms for what kinds of sexual
behavior were socially acceptable for white, middle-class women. For
instance, young white women could display more of their bodies without
(necessarily) being seen as sexually pathological, neurotic, “loose,” or
in need of institutionalization or discipline. Women of color and many
poor white women were always already seen as one or more of those
things, so the “sexual revolution” affected women differently depending
on their position within a system of sexualized racism .
